Couples Counseling:  Create A Great Relationship

Good Relationships Don’t Just Happen - They Are Created!

Your distress has brought you to this page. By the time you decide to seek counseling, arguments or stonewalling might have become a daily occurrence, and the relationship grown cold.  Yet, you believe that love is still alive and that the marriage or other relationship is worth saving.  Counseling may help you understand and resolve conflict, heal emotional wounds and re-establish intimacy.

In the course of couples therapy, you'll be equipped with tools to help you achieve these goals. My approach results from experience in working with couples and combining therapy techniques of Dr. Harville Hendrix (Imago Therapy), PAIRS (Practical Application of Intimate Relationship Skills)*,  Dr. Willard Harley and work of Dr. Jeffrey Young.

Frequently, it is one member of the couple or one spouse that insists on counseling.  Although the other partner seems to be the source of relationship problems, it is always both partners that contribute to the quality of relationship.  Each person brings his or her own ideas, values, opinions and personal history into a relationship. Success of your counseling depends on each partner’s willingness to change. For this reason, some individual sessions might be required.

If you are willing and ready to save your troubled marriage, please, contact me and let’s get to work.

If the relationship has deteriorated to the point that you are too discouraged to make a firm commitment to your marriage, please, visit the To Stay Or Not To Stay page.
